What kind of operation is this? To put it plainly, it's a sham.
A decent piece of jade is processed beforehand, then taken to a raw stone specialty store to purchase raw stones. Regardless of whether there is jade in the stones, the final result will always be the pre-processed jade.
Jade as if made by heaven, plus the support of some stooges, can inflate the price of jade to an astronomical figure. In any case, this is a foolproof business. The only risk is the cost of the raw stones.
How much can a raw stone be worth? Thirty thousand, fifty thousand, consider it an investment. But the returns are just amazing.
Guo Xuyang felt it wasn't worth it for the old man, but money can't buy happiness. As long as he believes it's worth it, then the item is worth that much.
After the two finished their transaction, the onlookers also dispersed.
In this day and age, with people's hearts no longer pure, all sorts of schemes can be employed.
But fortunately, at least the jade is real.
He and Wu Youzhi followed the crowd out, but he was unwilling to leave empty-handed. Since he had come, why should he return empty-handed? Wouldn't that be a waste of his cheating tool? He focused his gaze, and could clearly see all the raw stones in the shop that contained jade.
There was nothing particularly good, but there were two or three pieces that caught his eye.
"Take them," he stopped Wu Youzhi.
"Boss, how much for this stone?" Guo Xuyang asked, pointing to a stone weighing forty to fifty catties.
"That's from the Pa Gan mine, twenty-five thousand per jin."
"A little less, boss. I'll take a few more pieces."
"The lowest is twenty thousand, I can't sell it for less."
"What about these few pieces?" Guo Xuyang walked over and picked up the stones he had just fancied.
"This big one is thirty thousand per jin, and this smaller one is a fixed price of fifty thousand."
Now these bosses sell the larger stones by the jin, which invisibly adds a lot of money. When they buy stones, they calculate by the ton. A ton and a jin differ by a thousand times.
"How about this, boss? Two large ones, both at twenty thousand each, directly weighed. The smaller one for fifty thousand. You calculate it, and if it's okay, I'll transfer the money now."
Seeing the boss's slight hesitation, Wu Youzhi added fuel to the fire: "Boss, what you sell is money, and what you hold is still stones. With this time, it's better to turn it into money and buy more stones. Moreover, this price is already not low."
"Alright then. Weigh them." The boss called over a young assistant. "These two pieces weigh 103 jin, totaling 2.06 million. That smaller one is 50,000. The total is 2.11 million."
Guo Xuyang transferred the money and asked the boss to help load the stones onto Wu Youzhi's car.
The two arrived at the Jin Baolai Jade Specialty Store.
Wu Youzhi found people to carry the raw stones upstairs.
"Mr. Wu, we'll cut all these jade pieces today," Guo Xuyang said.
"Certainly. Let's go upstairs and cut the stones."
"I won't go up. You arrange for someone to cut them, then appraise and transfer the money. You have my account number," Guo Xuyang said. "I'm going to find Xiao Yun now, and I need to head back. It's too dark if I leave too late, and it's hard to drive."
"Alright, drive carefully. Let me know if you need any help."
"Okay. Goodbye." Guo Xuyang said and turned to leave.
When he arrived at the 4s store, the lobby was crowded with people inquiring about car prices. Xiao Yun was also busy in the crowd. Although he knew business would be booming these two days, he didn't expect it to be so intense.
He saw Xiao Yun introducing a car to a customer: "This car has smart brakes, it looks good, it's easy to drive, accelerates quickly, and is equipped with advanced technology. The S-shaped dynamic curves create a stylish exterior, with a super-long wheelbase of 280mm, providing ample legroom in the spacious rear, giving you ultimate enjoyment."
The customer seemed genuinely impressed with the car model, and with Xiao Yun's enthusiastic introduction, they immediately decided to buy it and paid a deposit.
After Xiao Yun finished processing the customer's paperwork, he walked up.
"You've worked hard, Sister Yun. Lunch is on me. I'll treat you to a big meal."
"We can't do lunch, look how many people are still here buying cars. I've already arranged for fast food," Xiao Yun said. "Many people today asked if there were still discounts, as they couldn't come yesterday. We have to explain to each of them individually and do some work. I'm exhausted, my legs are stiff."
As she spoke, she lifted her long legs. Her form-fitting uniform made her long legs look straight and slender, causing Guo Xuyang to stare.
"Hey, what are you thinking about? Your drool is about to fall on the ground," Xiao Yun kicked him. "You owe us a big meal when you get back."
"No problem, I'll arrange it when I get back." Guo Xuyang came back to his senses. "Is the car ready?"
"It's outside, all the license plates and everything are done. Li Yang ran around for you this morning. The keys and paperwork are in my office." Xiao Yun said, standing up and leading him to get the keys.
The office was Li Yang's old office. Xiao Yun hadn't changed anything or redecorated, she had only brought her personal items. Guo Xuyang frowned after looking around and said, "You should change to another office, and reset all the items. This office isn't suitable for you."
Xiao Yun didn't know why Guo Xuyang said that, but since he said so, there must be a reason.
"Okay, I'll sort it out after these busy days. How will you reward me for coming back?" Xiao Yun said flirtatiously, poking his shoulder with her finger.
"How about I pledge myself to you?" Guo Xuyang said playfully.
"You said it yourself, so don't get taken away by anyone else."
"I'm just a nobody, who would fancy me?"
"Tsk, with billions in assets and you call yourself a nobody, then what am I?"
"A little white? Hahaha." Guo Xuyang said, grabbing the keys and turning to leave.
He only flirted with his mouth, he didn't dare to provoke Xiao Yun.
For some reason, he had fantasized about Xiao Yun so many times, but every time he saw her, he still didn't dare.
That's right, he didn't dare. Perhaps it had something to do with his first love being hurt.
He was born in a small county town. His parents were primary school teachers. He was doted on by his parents since childhood, truly cherished and protected. Whatever he wanted, he got, which also contributed to his willfulness and competitiveness.
In junior high, he started dating early. His girlfriend was a tall girl in his class, the class English study committee member. He felt lost without seeing her every day. At that time, he lived at school, and the girl also lived at school. But every two weeks, when he went home, he had to be separated from the girl, which he found unbearable. So, he lied to his parents, saying he could only go home once a month. Then he secretly went to stay at a hotel near the girl's house.
Once or twice was fine. Later, his parents found out. Instead of criticizing him, they found the girl's parents and told them that the girl was dating their son and hindering his studies. They also found the teacher and asked the teacher to change his class. After his parents' intervention, the entire school found out about his early relationship. In the end, the girl left, transferred to another school.
